Hi @Chepafor,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your PC!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Create Custom BIOS Logo
Prepare the Logo Image:
- Ensure your custom logo image fits the necessary specifications. Typically, it should be a BMP or JPEG file and match the size requirements (often 1024x768 pixels or similar proportions).
Convert Image to EFI Format:
- Use a tool such as UEFITool or UEFI BIOS Updater to convert the logo image to a format compatible with UEFI.
Change BIOS Boot Logo Using HP Tools
Using HP BIOS Configuration Utility:
For HP computers, you can use the HP BIOS Configuration Utility (BCU) to change the boot logo.
Download HP BIOS Configuration Utility:
- Access HP Support and download the HP BIOS Configuration Utility.
Install and Configure BCU:
- Install the BCU software and open a command prompt with administrative privileges.
- Use the following command to set the logo:BiosConfigUtility.exe /SetValue:LogoPath=Path\To\Your\Logo.bmp
Use HP Firmware Management Utility
Using HP Firmware Management:
HP also provides the Firmware Management utilities which may support changing the boot logo.
- HP System Software Manager (SSM):
- Download HP System Software Manager from HP Support.
- Follow the instructions provided by HP SSM documentation to apply firmware configuration changes, including the boot logo.
Use Built-In Powershell Commands
Using Powershell Commands:
Use the command Clear-HPFirmwareBootLogo in Powershell to remove an existing custom logo, followed by setting a new logo:
- Open Powershell with Admin Privileges:Clear-HPFirmwareBootLogo If error 3 unknown occurs, verify that the HP SSM is installed and your image path is correct and accessible.
Final Steps
- Restart and Check BIOS:
- After applying the logo change, restart your laptop.
- Enter BIOS by pressing Esc then F10 during startup to verify if the new logo is applied.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Ensure the image file is in the correct format and resolution as required by the UEFI firmware.
- Make sure that all related HP tools are updated to the latest version available.
- Verify that the image path is correct and accessible during the firmware update process.
I hope this helps.
